Around 20 Spanish children have developed hypertrichosis - a condition that sees abnormally long hair grow all over a person's body - after they were mistakenly given hair restorer for stomach upsets. Pictures show hair growing all over the bodies of the children. Their furious parents went public and have now filed civil and criminal complaints against the laboratory, saying that two years after the mistake was made, the hair is still growing on their children's bodies.
